Is Justin Bieber, 27, transitioning to Gospel musical productions?
The Canadian-American artiste soulfully expressed how great it feels to be free with his new EP, Freedom, which was released on Sunday (April 4) to celebrate and acknowledge the reason for the Easter season.
The EP has Beliebers globally feeling more connected to the Holy spirit and wider Christian faith, as JB sweetly hums along with other gospel-inspired collaborators.
The EP starts out with the title track Freedom, which features Tyshane Thompson best known as Beam.
Freedom is about how great it feels to finally know a God with all the answers after being told there aren’t any.
JB rhythmically sings, “Freedom, don’t it feel good?”
Track two features Brandon Love and Chandler Moore in All She Wrote Freedom, which sings about being unable to go on without the help of God.
Track three takes JB’s fans on a higher level spiritually as JB melodiously prays for and sings to fans in We’re In This Together.
Where You Go I Follow, featuring Pink Sweat$, Chandler Moore and Judah Smith, track four, is a musical inspiration, expressing how each artiste feels knowing ‘there will never be anyone like Jesus’.
As the track comes to an end, questions begin to pierce the ears of each listener ultimately ending with one answer, “There is nobody like Jesus”.
Where Do I Fit In is sung gracefully by JB featuring Gospel recording artiste Tori Kelly, Chandler Moore and Judah Smith.
The EP’s fifth track soulfully worships a God who is reliable, as the lyrics promise “It will be alright”.
Freedom closes with track six’s Afraid to Say which features Lauren Walters and sums up forgiving others, believing in one’s self and believing that God has a plan for everyone (Psalms 139:13-16).
At this point, fans and listeners would have begun to entirely ‘praise God’ without fully being aware.
On a side note, JB carried his fans with him when he switched from lover-boy to church-boy, proving the influence the entertainment industry or a public figure has on its followers.
Viral reactions rolled in from fans as they quickly took to social media to give thanks for the release.
“JB is coming for Album of the year with Justice and now a Gospel Grammy too and more,” one fan wrote. “His vocals and passion for this EP too. Beautiful.”
True, JB might be!
Freedom follows Beiber’s sixth solo album Justice, which vaulted onto the Billboard 200 and other musical charts earlier this week at NO. 1
Track 12 of Justice, the album cut Peaches also vault onto the Billboard Hot 100 at NO.1, the week after its release on March 19, making JB the first-ever solo male artist to debut atop both charts.
JB had a reason for releasing his LP Justice, he said, “In a time when there’s so much wrong with this broken planet we all crave healing and justice for humanity. In creating this album my goal is to make music that will provide comfort, to make songs that people can relate to and connect to so they feel less alone. Suffering, injustice and pain can leave people feeling helpless. Music is a great way of reminding each other that we aren’t alone. Music can be a way to relate to one another and connect with one another”.
He continued: “I know that I cannot simply solve injustice by making music but I do know that if we all do our part by using our gifts to serve this planet and each other that we are that much closer to being united. This is me doing a small part. My part. I want to continue the
conversation of what justice looks like so we can continue to heal.”
